14 May 1985 – 30 years ago

Achill, Ireland, Photography, Travel

 

 

The first photographs I took were on a school trip to Connemara in 1985. I just noticed that it was exactly 30 years ago today that we started the trip.

14 May 1985

Climbing one of the Twelve Bens on the first day of the trip. To say that we were unprepared would be an understatement!

The wind and rain was quite brutal. Unfortunately, we were nowhere near the top at this point.

This was the top of the mountain. Now looking relieved to a downward stroll.

Nice weather on the one day that we didn’t climb any mountains.

Picasa Albums

Uncategorized

One of my gripes with Picasa is that it doesn’t do slideshows outside folders. Or so I thought until I did another search today if one of the recent versions had solved his issue. It seems that it is possible but only if you create an album and assign photos to that album. Why? What I would like to do is to just create a search term (I use very long descriptive filenames for my photos) and let a slideshow run from that search query. Google, Picasa please include in a release in the near future. Thanks!
